Just back from a whirlwind Labor Day weekend. Two highly successful ZonaVibe performances in Wisconsin! ZonaVibe with Chris Madsen, Ian Stewart, Mauricio Herrera and Diego Lopez performed at the Stevens Point Jazz Festival and the Fox Jazz Festival.

I sold lots of CDs!, made new friends, and got to reconnect with some old friends! A really great time was had by all! –Mike Freeman

An audience response:At first I was thinking where’s the piano player. But as soon as you started playing I realized you don’t need one, and the listener doesn’t miss it! I’ve never heard a vibe player playing piano montunos. Everything was so together, that was fantastic! –Audience member, Fox Jazz Festival, WI

Happy New Year, 2016 is here! Things are moving into place for a promotion push. Blue Tjade is up here, at cdBaby, iTunes, Spotify (I made 10 cents there so far!), and making it's way to all the other online stores. –Mike Freeman

Although a Grammy nomination would have great, I'm very happy with the overall response to CD and thanks to those who supported it! I''ve spent the past couple of months writing some new music. Looking forward to locking in some work for the group and moving onto the next project!

Dear Friends and colleagues Mike Freeman ZonaVibe "The Vibesman" is in the pre-nomination round of the Grammy Awards - "Best Latin Jazz Album". Our music will be made available to the voting membership upon request. We thank you for your consideration!

The Vibesman has been hitting radio airwaves across the country and has also received sales from around the world! A first for me is that it's been entered into the pre-nomination round of the Latin Grammy's (LARAS)!

There was a long delay (technical issues) but The Vibesman has arrived! Project backers should be seeing it soon, followed by radio programmers and press people! It's also on it's way to CD Baby (followed by iTunes and other download sites). Look for it here or there soon! –Mike Freeman

!!!! Break out the champagne!!!! We made it. A huge thank-you to everyone who jumped on board, went along for the ride, and/or put up with this new funding adventure. We're looking forward to sharing some more good vibes in the not-too-distant future!
Thanks,
MF

There's one week left to become a part of ZonaVibe's next recording! We must reach our goal by Jan. 23rd or lose the pledges we've been fortunate enough to receive thus far. So we're ratcheting up our funding efforts.

See updates post #4 video from ZonaVibe's power trio New Years Eve (with Ruben Rodriguez and Papo Pepin)! We hope you'll learn about the project, become a part of it (by pre-ordering our next recording), and/or help spread the word!

It's time to let everyone know about the launch of our Kickstarter Project (we're venturing into the brave new world of internet funding). I hope you'll learn about the project, become a part of it, and/or help spread the word!
